Her Story
The Foundation — Telecommunications
Andrea began her career in telecommunications at a time when networks were being reimagined and digital infrastructure was becoming the backbone of modern commerce. She quickly distinguished herself not only through her technical acumen but through her rare ability to see risk where others saw routine. Over the course of her first decade, she helped design and defend communication networks that millions of Canadians relied upon daily.
Financial Services — Security at Scale
Moving into financial services, Andrea encountered a new level of complexity. The stakes were higher, the threat landscape more sophisticated, and the regulatory environment more demanding. She thrived. Leading cross-functional teams, she architected information security frameworks that protected billions in assets while maintaining the agility that modern financial institutions require to compete.
Air Canada — Head of Technology
Andrea's most visible executive chapter came as Head of Technology at Air Canada — one of Canada's largest and most complex technology environments. Responsible for both innovation and protection at national scale, she led through transformation, modernization, and the kinds of pressures that only aviation can produce. Her leadership during this period cemented her reputation as one of Canada's foremost technology executives.
The Mission — Empowering Women
Threaded through every chapter of Andrea's professional life is a deep personal commitment: ensuring the next generation of women in technology do not face the barriers she navigated alone. As a two-time international bestselling author on empowering women to succeed, she has reached tens of thousands of readers worldwide. Her coaching, mentoring, and speaking work is an extension of that same conviction — that when women lead, organizations and communities thrive.
